All done.. but not 100% happy

Hi again folk,

So all 4 phones have been rehauled now but there's a few issues I'm not entirely happy with. I'll give a quick rundown.

Phone 1 (My main one): 16gb SD card

Phone 2 (my backup): 4gb SD card

Phone 3 (friends): 8gb SD card

Phone 4 (fathers): 4gb SD card

All 4 phones went through the same process of getting ext 4 installed and partitioning the SD card for 1024mb of sd-ext. They are set up to with cm7r2 boot and mildwild 4.4. I have 280mb internal space. I didn't install stock boot animation or AGPS patch either.

As Phone 1 is my main one, I set this up first with a lot of apps being installed via titanium backup "restore app+data" option, the last backup of each which was taken from mildwild 4.3. All apps seemed to install one or two had issues but seemed to be ok in the end. I also restored system settings after which I got a notice saying the android ID for the phone had changed? I then did some root explorer customisations putting zeam launcher as a system file and getting rid of a bit of bloat. Once I had phone 1 set up how I wanted it, I made a backup.

I restored this backup to Phone 2 where I then delete accountsdb via data/system with root explorer to get rid of the google account I had set up phone 1 with. I then cleared data of a lot of programs and had Phone 2 as an empty template, set up nicely, but with no user info. I made another backup of this.

I restored this backup to Phone 3 and tried to restore it to Phone 4 also but it gave an "error can't flash boot" message for some reason, I tried different backups with Phone 4 but nothing worked. I then went to advanced restore and managed to restore everything but "boot" on phone 4. It seems it restored with all settings and apps.

I had then set up each phone with it's specific Google account, put back some photos taken as a backup etc.

All 4 phones seem a bit slower than what I was used to on Mildwild 4.3 using the exact same set up (zeam launcher, same sms, dialer apps, same widgets and home screen set up etc. It just seems things take longer to open. I tried change the CPU settings to the aforementioned smartass etc but after testing each for a few seconds opening apps, it didn't seem to improve the speed.

Phone 1: everything seems ok, just doesn't seem as responsive as it was when Mildwild 4.3 was on before the sd-ext and hboot fix.

Phone 2: same responsiveness as phone 1. I got a google talk account error which I fixed by clearing data of play store and service framework. Seems ok now.

Phone 3: same responsiveness as phone 1. I got the same google talk error as phone 2 and did the same which seemed to work, but now I can't install any paid apps for some reason. Going to play store and clicking a paid app brings up a server error. I tried delete accountdb, clear play store data and framework service data but still the same problem. Can't download paid apps?

Phone 4: Restoring errors mentioned above. Photo album wouldn't open form within the camera app when I tested before returning phone to father earlier.

So strange issues happening with Google play store, boot recovery and it just doesn't seem as responsive as what I was used to on Mildwild 4.3

Any suggestions as to what way I should go around dealing with the above?

Any feedback greatly appreciated!
